Came here for dinner with some friends and the space is super cute and casual yet elevated. They bring you complementary bread, which was really yummy. We started off with the ahi tuna crisps, and burrata salad, which were both really good and fresh. We also ordered the steak frites and a pasta for mains. Everything was good and the service was fast and attentive. We would definitely come back! read more

We had not been at the hawke at the inn for a while so we recently stopped in for a late lunch /early dinner. It's amazing how quickly time flies since it must've been about three years since the last time that we had stopped in because they seem to have changed their name as well as their business model. Now known as the hawke they seem to have redesigned everything to be an upscale Gastropub so our expectations were high. However, I think Jason T.s review hit the nail on the head in that. They seem to really have missed the Mark across the board. While the service was OK, it was not as attentive and friendly as it was in the past. The food was totally underwhelming. Prices are also up all around. Not sure if we will be back - probably not unless the reviews in the future get better. read more

The food and cocktails are excellent. Best place in Lambertville. It also has a covered patio dining area.

We went here for a milestone birthday dinner with 3 couples. Sat outside on the patio which as nice and quieter than inside. Ambiance is neat casual. Our server was friendly, outgoing, helpful, and responsive. There is a generous, tasty bread basket to welcome you. For appetizers we got the calamari and the crispy brussel sprouts - both were excellent and our table loved them. Entrees ranged from the Halibut & Shrimp with Mashed Cauliflower (the clear winner of the night), the Pork Chop special (which was fine, not extraordinary), the Steak (which was good), and the Crispy Eggplant (which was a generous portion and tasty). The sides of loaded baked potatoes and broccoli were ample and good. We shared a dessert which was the homemade mint ice cream cake which was delicious. For the birthday celebration, they literally brought out an "adult pup cup" - dollop of whipped cream in a champagne flute with a sparkler. Based on the prices of the food and overall atmosphere, this was a big missed opportunity for customer delight. Every other place comparable that we've been to (all over the country for that matter) would have had an actual dessert (maybe small sized) to give to the birthday guest. We had a good laugh about it. The menu would compel us to come back, but not for a special celebration. read more

Just had a wonderful dinner with my wife and mother in law. We ate on the patio. I most want to applaud our server John. He was most attentive and was especially kind to my mother in law. He went out of his way to guide her through the menu. She is 87 years old and he was so kind to her making her feel special. He even unexpectedly helped cut her food when he saw she was struggling. This man treated her like his own mother. As always the food was top notch but the level of kindness he showed is the textbook example of customer service. We are regular customers and will remain loyal. read more

Met a client here for a business lunch. Staff was friendly and service was prompt. I had the crab cake sandwich and it was delicious Client had the Scottish salmon and said it was incredible! Also, I thought t the meal was reasonably priced. Ample parking by the park down the street. Give The Hawke a try ... you wont be disappointed. read more

We had a great evening here The waitress was a long time employee and had a great sense of humor We ordered a seafood tower for the table and it was the perfect size for the portion read more

Was there for dinner last night and the food and service were excellent. The veal chop was top-notch and the shared pizza appetizer was delicious. Keep up the great work! read more

We got the Chicken Parm Pizza for 2 without the hot honey pepperoni- SO GOOD. It is truly just a large chicken cutlet with sauce, cheese, and basil pesto- no bread crust at all. If they added spaghetti on top it would be the best food ever created on planet earth. There were three birthdays in the dining room one after the other and the whole restaurant chimed in to sing happy birthday, it was lovely! read more

The Hawke - Chicken Parm Pizza for 2 - Steakhouses Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

Went on a Friday night for dinner with my husband and our friends. Place was packed, but thankfully, we had a reservation. We had Donna as our waitress- she was fantastic!! She just GETS IT, she's great. My friends husband is known to be picky and he LOVED Donna and everything about The Hawke. The drinks were PERFECTION and the food was also great. I ordered the seafood risotto special, it was delicious. My husband ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with Parmesan Risotto and it was okay which is why I gave it a 4 for food. The parmesan risotto didn't have much flavor, but everything else we ordered was great. Thank you, Donna!! Small negatives: On the pricier side, but for that area it's expected: party of four: 3 alcoholic drinks, 3 apps, 4 entrees, 3 desserts, 1 cappuccino - total was $440 including tip/$210 per couple. Also worth noting, they close at 9PM on Fridays and Saturdays- which is pretty early. I don't think they'll kick you out, but you also don't want to end your night THAT early. read more

Very unremarkable is my first thought. I would've given this restaurant one star if it weren't for the pleasant waitress and service. I cannot get over how unremarkable and dull the food was for a place like this. Your protein is the only thing included with the meal. Very basic presentation of the beef and lamb, then you have to choose a side separately and pay extra. This just felt unacceptable for the price point. My cocktail, at $18, I couldn't even drink. We will never come back; one and done. read more

First time here since it was the Inn at the Hawk ,a very long time ago. Came with some regular/VIP patrons. Place is totally different now. Awesome elegant vibe. Valet parking was great. Evening though space with tight, the valet took care of us promptly on entry and exit. Nice. Place was packed (SRO) when we arrived 20 minutes early for our reservation. Host warmly greeted the "regulars" of our party and guided us to a strategic position in the bar area to wait. His assistant promptly took our cocktail order and she delivered them in a very timely fashion considering the place was packed at the bar and all tables. Cocktails were on the mark. I had a perfect Manhattan, Michael had an old fashion and the ladies had one of the special cocktails. Festive stemware and fresh garnish. Ten or fifteen minutes later, we were sitted in a corner off the kitchen. The table next to us was a family with "very energetic" young children. thank God for the great cocktails and wine during dinner. While we were able to have a fun evening, the noise and comotion definitely killed the chill vib that we had experienced at the packed bar. (I would consider eating at the bar next time as I noticed the excellent service of the bar staff). Decent wine sellection and prices. We had a few bottles with dinner and they were served at appropriate temperatures. Appetizer came quickly, but entrees took a while and all were served luke warm at best. I suspect entrees were ready and waiting for the server but I could be wrong. Server was very nice to the VIPs in our party but not very attentive to the pace. First bottle of wine came after appetizers were already served. Subsequent wines came after entrees were served. In spite of the improper temperature of all entrees, they were very tasty. I look forward to giving this place another try. We will probably go WITHOUT the VIPS (sorry Michael) and sit at the bar. Cheers, Captain Ron read more

I have been to The Hawke on many occasions. I always enjoyed the atmosphere but the food lately has been sub par. I was there on July 24th and our dinner did not get off to a good start. My Cosmo was extremely sour and was lacking triple-sec. Our server "Christian" was outstanding! He remade my drink personally and it was outstanding! The Hawke always made excellent Cosmos prior to my last three visits there, now they are terrible. I ordered the Halibut and Shrimp with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The dinner was barely warm and the side of asparagus was cold. I had to send everything back. My husband had the "veal chop" which to his disappointment were over fried breaded cutlets. Certainly not a "chop" as expected. He did not send it back. Our other friends had the sea bass and were very pleased with their dinner. I agree the sea bass is usually outstanding but, the last time I was there (about a month prior) the bass was good but the risotto was tasteless. I did not complain hoping it would improve next time. When the server came over to ask if we needed boxes he noticed my husband's dinner was barely consumed. He asked if the dinner was OK , he replied it was not edible. We were not charged for that dinner. Overall, this is the third time ourselves and other friends have been very disappointed. The prices are too high for this quality of food. The service was outstanding and the ambiance is nice. I go to a "restaurant" for the food which is clearly disappointing and lacking consistency. read more

My favorite place! So consistently good- best sea bass ever had! Everyone we've taken there loves it.. went for my birthday last night... entrees were 5 star! Sea Bass and Steak special! Only thing I would change- We had the grilled romaine special salad...romaine should be warm not ice cold, dressing was great... Service was good. read more

Wife and I came for our anniversary. They advertise complimentary valet but by 6:30 the lot was over loaded and cops had to be called. We started with sausage stuffed mushrooms. They were the perfect size appetizer for 2. My wife got the Chilean sea bass with risotto and thoroughly enjoyed it. I got the 10oz filet mignon served medium rare. It was a good size steak that melts in your mouth. I also got the loaded baked potato on the side. They put the cheese and bacon in the middle so it blends with the potato instead of just covering it. We ended the night with an apple crumb and vanilla ice cream, coffee, tea (Lipton) and Macallan 18. read more

The Hawke - Dessert menu - Steakhouses Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

The Hawke was excellent! My family and I went for dinner on a Friday evening and had a great meal. For appetizers, we had the Thai chili, calamari, crispy, brussels sprouts, and truffle onion rings. All were great. I was very impressed with the truffle onion rings and crispy Brussel sprouts. I loved the bacon and Gorgonzola cheese that came with the brussels sprouts. For dinner we all went with either the Scottish salmon or the filet mignon sandwich, and all were great. Especially liked the mashed potatoes and baked potato. They were delicious. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice. They had a lively bar a nice outdoor patio that seem to be heated and two separate dining rooms. It is important to note however that it was pretty noisy and very dark inside. The service was very great. They were very communicative about any delays there might be. A special shout out to the two seasonal items. We really enjoyed the pumpkin spice, donut bites and fall sangria. read more

First let me say that this was the first time in a long time I've been there since New ownership and renovations. It looks GREAT. Went twice this week actually. First was for lunch with a cheese burger that cannot be beat. I would rate their burger 5 stars plus as it's a simple piece of meat without over doing any spice. Extremely juicy and a good size. Fresh oil (my peeve) was used for the fries - great! Dinner was OK, thus the 3-star overall rating. It should not be read as bad, it was good but not out of the park. The service was a solid 10. I ordered the veal Milanese which for my taste was pretty bland in the coating. It could use a little more bang in the coating. It was also a bit dry and the coating peeled off without much texture. However, the dinner guest that ordered the Chilean Sea Bass seemed to have a fabulous presentation and looked plentiful. The scallop special someone else ordered with risotto was a tad undercooked. Will definitely come again. read more

Our server was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. Probably the best dinner I had in a long time. I had the sea bass and my husband had salmon. read more

New owners still have a little work to do. Our server Nick was delightful! I had sea bas, which tasted good but did not have a good sear on the outside so was more mushy than I'd like. Sauce was good but there was too much of it. While accompanying Brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes tasted good, the sprouts soaked up too much oil and were greasy. My husband has the tuna. There was a lot of slaw and potatoes but the sauce was scarce. We'll try again but the quality has definitely dropped a bit. read more

The Hawke - Gazpacho - Steakhouses Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

The Hawke really hit the mark with great food, a comfortable vibe, and amazing service. We started with the ahi tuna bites and chicken wings, which were both full of flavor and really well done. For our mains, the filet sandwich was tender and satisfying, the tuna tacos were super fresh, and the truffle ravioli was rich without being too heavy. Dessert was a win too--we had the mini donuts and the apple cinnamon bread pudding, and both were totally worth it. Our server Donna was fantastic and made the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be back. read more

Hurry up and read this! HURRY UP ! That's how we felt Our waitress really tried to move us along. Did we smell? Drinks were just ok. Nice wine list We ordered a nice bottle for dinner Apps Came out in minutes Stuffed mushrooms - 4 people 3 mushrooms - didn't matter they were not that good Calamari was very good Dinner came as we finished the last Calamari was still chewing as my entree was served Hurry up!!! Steaks were cooked as requested Pasta entree was good Food is good, the experience was rushed which kind of ruins the experience. We like to eat, talk laugh and enjoy our dinner with friends. Put in a drive thru if you want us out so quick read more

Service good. Drinks good. Food nope won't eat there again. Probably won't go there again. French onion soup was awful.

We arrived with high hopes. The calamari appetizer came drowned in sauce. Mushroom raviolis were nice...the cream sauce itself was bland but raviolis were well seasoned. Surf n turf heavily salted and served more rare than ordered. Brussel sprouts were greasy and too salty as well. They asked about a special occasion and my husband said he was celebrating his birthday weekend, they didn't bother to add a candle to his dessert. And the restaurant cancelled my reservation even though we were there so I won't received any points on OpenTable. read more

The Hawke - i love the scenery at my table - Steakhouses Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

Amazing waitress, jaw dropping' chicken Caesar (I came to him, not bury him!), succulent cheese bread, near Parisian level French Onion soup and a unique mint Oreo cake were just what I needed. The filet minion sandwich was so so but a small complaint in lieu of the slew of fine aspects of the evening. And the wailing screeching baby that cleared all diners save me was a testament to how good the food was: nothing could drive me out! read more

I would like to go higher but I just can't. The server wrote nothing down when taking an order from 3 people 2 had special asks. This recipe for disaster did happen. The burger no pickle or onion came with pickle and onion. When I sent it back all they did was take the pickle off and remove the onions. I guess they thought I would not taste the onion that was there or not taste the pickle on the fries that touched the pickle, ie juice. My wife's salad had the wrong dressing, not a deal breaker. The server went outside 3 times to give a guy 3 beers, and refill a wine glass. We didn't get a how is everything, or a water refill. This was the second time my wife and I visited, and second impression was not impressive. Aside from the occasional onion flavor, the burger was good, I didn't eat the fries, part of the burger because I hate the taste of pickle. read more

I, on the other hand was always on the fence. Now! This is My favorite burger in the great town of Lambertville, NJ. read more

Went last night.. It looked like it was going to be a great night..... then we sat in the side room while there were plenty of better seating choices, and then the waitress who was lovely took our order ... well, then it went down hill... Our dinner took 45 mins and came out completely wrong...Waitress was sweet and told us she would have the manager come over.. She eventually came over to apologize and wish us a Happy Memorial Day weekend... Its Labor Day... read more

RECOMMENDED: Excellent food quality-attractive restaurant-lively bar scene. Food was wonderful. We shared crispy Brussel Sprouts & the shrimp special as apps. The sprouts (usually a side dish) are outstanding. We also tried the Truffle Onion Rings, fragrant, perfectly prepared. Our 3 mains: Rib eye, really tasty, (four stars) Rib eye looked great, a winner, the pork chop, thick, served juicy with puddle of au jus, and filet. All 3 of us were very happy with our choices. We started with drinks at the bar first, nice bartenders, good vibe here, many having their dinner, directly at the bar. AMBIENCE: Several homey rooms, had look & feel of a country hotel, pretty outdoor garden, firm sturdy chairs, clean tidy tabletop, nice dinnerware, flatware tucked into neatly folded napkins. Loud: Suggest they install wall drapes to absorb sound, as it was a din. VALET: Easy in, friendly greeting, we shared mobile # and the pick up was smooth, lights on, car ready to roll. We chatted up the valet and learned that he works the site solo and is not fed by the house. ARE THEY CRAZY? this valet is one of THE most valuable assets at the Hawke, as there is zero parking in this neighborhood, this man works wonders. House should realize that taking care of their man is vital, as he makes getting in-out easy and professional. Without the valet, no way would you ever find parking. We customers are happy that The Hawke provides this great service. This young man was a 100% professional and as important as the servers, host, bartenders we met last night. We talked about our fun dinner out as we drove home and talked about a future visit soon. CHECK OUT THEIR MENU, this is an exceptionally nice place and we will return. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Hawke. Food was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant and our waiter Anthony was like having a friend assist us with our selections of entree, appetizer and dessert. read more

Our waitress was lovely. She was very nice, and the ambiance of the place was good. I ordered the crab cake sandwich, which was decent. The filet mignon sandwich was underseasoned. The onions were NOT caramelized; not sure if the kitchen understands what that means. Otherwise a good place. read more

its been awhile and came back tonight. Ricky our waiter is a pro and did great work. Mushroom w stuffed sausage is still one of the best apps in this area. Ahi tuna wontons were unremarkable, pretty bland...please just add a ramekin with soy or some wasabi. Tonight's Menu special salad watermelon with arugala, balsamic reduction, and feta was gas. We split the dry aged ribeye for our entree. Steak was REALLY good quality steak and 46 $bones for this is amazing...even if I'm a little doubtful that its truly dry aged at this price point...sorry i just didnt get any hint of the legit dry-aged funky flavor. read more

Although the ratings were good , l wasn't impressed prices are average for today's market, food is just OK , service was better than most now a days. It was not what I was expecting, wouldn't return with all the options around. The place is clean but maybe too clean because the dining room smelt like cleaning supplies read more

Excellent food and the waitress staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Tuesday nights they have a "Locals" night with fantastic specials, appetizer, main course, and dessert, for less than $40. Go and try it! You won't be disappointed! read more

We're so glad we tried a new restaurant for my husband's birthday on Christmas Eve! Every part was fantastic from the food (and its presentation), service, and ambience. Just lovely! Our server, Ricky, was a gem. My husband even got a sparkler with a treat for his bday! Only tiny note: please offer a box of decent teas for us tea drinkers. Like Stash or other. We tea drinkers often get overlooked and only offering Lipton tea is very disappointing--and a big no for me. read more
